A Wooded Lot Deck, Resurfaced in Vista

This elevated Hinckley deck had a solid frame and tired wood. We rebuilt the stairs and resurfaced it in Deckorators Vista Silverwood with a Driftwood border, black Deckorators ALX railing, and lights on the posts and stairs.

Where They Started

Great bones on a wooded lot

This deck sits high on a wooded lot with plenty of room underneath. The wood surface and railing were worn out, but the structure was still solid.

We kept the frame, rebuilt the stairs, and gave it a low maintenance surface that fits right in with the trees.

Post Cap and Stair Lights

Post Cap and Stair Lights

Lights on the posts and stair risers make the deck easy to use after dark. More on lighting

Our take: A solid frame is worth keeping. Resurfacing got this family a brand new deck that fits the woods around it, for a lot less than starting over.
Good Questions

Questions we hear a lot

Can you add lights during a resurface?

Yes. We run low voltage lighting for posts and stairs as part of the job.

Can you add a gate?

Yes. We match gates to your railing.

Is Vista a good choice in the woods?

Yes. It resists moisture, stains, and fading, and cleans up with a quick rinse.
